It's actually neat to see how much Richard Fox has improved between ember war 1 and this book. However while this book was good and enjoyable it was mostly setup for the next books.

A lot of the jokes were nailed spot on for me in this story arc heck probably one of my favorite in the series is in this book, but there were also segments where everything was just falling flat for me for a bit which is what really hurt it....more
